sched: adjust sleeper credit for SCHED_IDLE entities
Give reduced sleeper credit to SCHED_IDLE entities. As a result, woken SCHED_IDLE entities will take longer to preempt normal entities. The benefit of this change is to make it less likely that a newly woken SCHED_IDLE entity will preempt a short-running normal entity before it blocks. We still give a small sleeper credit to SCHED_IDLE entities, so that idle<->idle competition retains some fairness. Example: With HZ=1000, spawned four threads affined to one cpu, one of which was set to SCHED_IDLE. Without this patch, wakeup latency for the SCHED_IDLE thread was ~1-2ms, with the patch the wakeup latency was ~5ms.
